Get Involved

There are four easy ways to be part of the Ocean Friendly Neighborhood effort on the Peninsula.

1. Make your next event ocean friendly

Hosting a block party, birthday or BPPA gathering? Use our event guidelines. It’s not hard and it sets the standard for the rest of the neighborhood.

See the event guidelines

2. Use the refill stations

Two water bottle refill stations are live on the Peninsula:

  • L Street Park
  • Bay Beach

Skip the case of plastic bottles. Bring a reusable.

3. Come to a beach cleanup

Cleanups are an easy 90 minutes. Bags and gloves provided. Bring water, sunscreen, and a friend.

BPPA hosts an annual Dirtiest Day cleanup on July 5, the morning after the 4th of July. Check our events page for the next one.

See BPPA events

Surfrider North OC cleanups

Our partner chapter runs cleanups year-round at beaches throughout North Orange County. Open to everyone, all gear provided.

4. Spread the word

Tell your neighbors. Mention it when you’re at the beach, L street park or racquet club. The faster this becomes “just how we do things on the Peninsula,” the better.
